>But you do believe Thurmond was genuine.

I believe nothing of the sort. I explicitly said "Thurmond absolutely was a racist." How is that not clear?

You are, to be blunt, lying. Hint: that doesn't actually work when my original words are here for all to read. I would recommend sticking to out of context quoting from obscure sources in future.

I take it, then, that you can't refute my factual statements, despite declaring them to be "incorrect", repeatedly?

You cited Thurmond's "I have nothing to apologize for" out of context as evidence that he never claimed to have given up segregationist views, even though when (laboriously) tracked down to its original source, his very next sentence was in fact just such a claim.

And you have the nerve to call someone else "intellectually dishonest".

> It has become clear that this conversation is a waste of my time.

Agreed.
